FALLEN ICON: WILLIAM LEVY’S ARREST SHOCKS FASHION CIRCLES
In a shocking turn of events that has sent ripples through both the fashion and entertainment worlds, Cuban-American heartthrob William Levy has been detained in Florida under troubling circumstances. The actor and model, known for his smoldering campaigns and commanding screen presence, was booked into Broward Main Jail on Monday where he awaits trial on dual charges.
According to official jail records, Levy faces allegations of trespassing in an occupied structure or conveyance, coupled with disorderly intoxication in a public space. Both charges remain pending, with no bond amount currently established. The star, who has graced countless magazine covers and front rows at fashion weeks worldwide, was apprehended by Broward Sheriff’s deputies, though specific details regarding the circumstances of his arrest remain closely guarded.
A particularly poignant booking image shared by Las Top News on Instagram reveals the typically composed and camera-ready fashion muse in an unusually vulnerable state, visibly emotional in the wake of his detention. The striking juxtaposition between his normally polished public persona and this raw moment of distress has caused considerable stir among industry insiders and devoted followers alike.
Under Florida statute, the potential consequences for these charges are not insignificant—the disorderly intoxication charge carries a possible sentence of up to 60 days, while criminal trespass in an occupied structure could result in incarceration for up to one year. For a figure who has built his career on impeccable timing and flawless presentation, this legal entanglement represents a significant departure from his carefully curated image.
This incident marks the second legal controversy surrounding Levy in less than twelve months. According to Hola magazine, authorities responded to a call in 2024 from his former partner, Elizabeth Gutiérrez, who allegedly reported that Levy was heavily intoxicated and accompanied by another woman at his residence. Though that particular situation did not escalate to formal charges, it generated considerable backlash across social media platforms, where Levy had previously enjoyed an adoring fan base.
The timing of this latest incident coincides with what appears to be a period of personal upheaval for the star. Nearly a year ago, Gutiérrez confirmed the dissolution of their two-decade relationship in a candid interview with HOLA! magazine. “I always bet on my relationship. I loved William, I think it’s no secret that he was the love of my life,” she revealed, adding with palpable emotion: “Currently, we are not together. On my part, it was never for lack of love.”
Prior to their separation announcement, reports indicate a troubled domestic situation, with multiple incidents reported to local authorities since January 2024, including one particularly concerning episode in March involving their daughter, Kailey.
Beyond his modeling portfolio, which has made him a fixture in luxury campaigns and editorial spreads, Levy has cultivated a noteworthy acting career spanning both Latin American telenovelas like “Sortilegio” and “La Tempestad,” as well as American productions including “Girls Trip,” “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter,” and “Tyler Perry’s The Single Moms Club.” Fashion enthusiasts may also recall his impressive third-place finish on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2012, where his elegant movements and natural grace captivated audiences nationwide.
As this story continues to develop, the fashion community watches with bated breath to see how this latest chapter will unfold for one of its most photogenic and marketable talents.
